Subclass 190

What is a 190 Visa ?

A State-Nominated Permanent Residency Visa.

You get PR directly, but only after a state or territory nominates you based on their skill shortages and labour market priorities.

Core Value Proposition:
→ PR with greater feasibility than 189 because states drive the demand, not federal priority lists alone.

Who It’s Suited For

  • Have an occupation on a state’s Priority Skill List (not just MLTSSL)
  • Can demonstrate genuine settlement intent in the nominating state
  • Can adapt to state-specific eligibility conditions (work, study, residency, or job search commitments)

This visa is about strategy and alignment, not just points.

What Makes 190 Competitive

Processing Dynamics (Current Landscape)

Your points score is not enough.
Your case narrative must align to the state’s economic needs.

States look for:

  • Occupation shortages in their labour market
  • Work experience in the nominated occupation
  • Realistic settlement plan (housing, job market fit)
  • English + partner skills to reduce the risk of unemployment

This is not a “apply and wait” game.
It is a targeted market positioning exercise.

The Trade-Off

You must live and work in the nominating state for at least 2 years.
It’s not legally enforced, but states do monitor compliance, and future applications can be impacted if you breach settlement guidelines.
